About Welke's Florist

We're proud to have been serving our community for over a century, bringing the joy of flowers into the lives of our neighbors.

Milwaukee's Premier Florist Since 1901

At Welke's Milwaukee Florist, we believe in the simple, powerful truth that flowers are ambassadors of emotion. For over five generations, our family-owned shop has been grounded in tradition, rooted in service, and committed to community. What began as a small floral shop has grown into a trusted name that families turn to generation after generation. We're proud to continue this legacy with the same passion that inspired our founders well over a century ago.

What sets us apart at Welke's Milwaukee Florist is our commitment to quality. Our customers often tell us our flowers last longer and that's no accident. From careful processing and handling behind the scenes to artful, personalized design, our attention to detail ensures every stem is extraordinary. We source only the freshest blooms and handle them with the utmost respect from the moment they arrive at our shop. That's why so many customers return to us time and time again.

Connection is at the core of everything we do at Welke's Milwaukee Florist. Whether we're creating a sympathy arrangement or curating a joyful bouquet, we approach each interaction with empathy and professionalism. Behind every order is a story, and it's our privilege to help express it. We listen closely, design intentionally, and always treat your moments with the care they deserve. We don't believe in cookie-cutter designs; we believe in personalization and lasting impressions.

Our legacy is powered by people at Welke's Milwaukee Florist. Many of our team members have been with us for decades, and their expertise and passion infuse every bouquet with consistency and creativity. When you walk through our doors, you're greeted by friendly faces who know flowers — and who know you. That familiarity and trust are what make our shop feel like home.

Welke's Milwaukee Florist is proud to be active in the community, from donating over 5,000 roses annually to survivors at the annual Komen Run to partnering with the Vince Lombardi Foundation. Every year, we participate in Petal It Forward, surprising strangers with flowers and smiles. These moments of spontaneous kindness are reminders of the joy we all deserve.

Our curated gift collection adds a thoughtful element to any floral delivery, from artisan candles to gourmet treats. We believe in celebrating Milwaukee's rich entrepreneurial spirit by highlighting partners who share our passion for quality and craftsmanship, like fourth-generation Burke's Chocolates. It's our way of spreading local love with every delivery.

At Welke's Milwaukee Florist, we've been committed to delivering joy, comfort, and connection since 1901. Every blossom tells a story, and we're honored to help you tell yours.
